Did you all catch midtown's own Golden Bear featured last night on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives?" Well shoot, I have to say that Sacramento showed great on the Food Network. Don't know about you, but my tummy started to rumble as Golden Bear executive chef Billy Zoellin whipped up banh mi sandwiches, a meat-less and cheese-less pizza (and wow, that smoked slaw looked great) and tacos for host Guy Fieri and a crew of Golden Bear regulars.

Some of the folks who caught some camera time included: Billy Ngo (owner of Kru/Red Lotus), Casey Mar (Bee Night Life columnist), Adam Saake (food writer for Submerge magazine) and Anthony "Pag" Paganelli (guitarist for Will Haven).

Just check the Food Network's web site, and don't see any clips yet from last night's show. We'll keep you posted on that. The Food Network also filmed other eatries around the River City for "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" last year, including Gatsby's and Dad's Kitchen, so we'll see when those segments are scheduled to air. Stay tuned ...
